Hi Rain,

 

Thank you so much for this information.  Using the link didn't work for me but

by playing around a bit I came up with this

 

http://bookmine.tesuji.eu/gutenberg/searchResults.do?query=cookery & offset=0

 

which is the entire list of cookery books.  I then refined the search by adding

'old' and came up with a shorter list.  I also refined it with 'vegetarian' and

came up with some very interesting material.  I was unable to find a way to

eliminate ALL books with a reference to 'old' from my search so many books on

the list are nothing to do with cooking.  I tried putting my search term in

inverted commas and also tried old + recipe but it still didn't restrict the

results to cookbooks. 

 

I think my favourite find so far is this English vegetarian cook book dated

1891.  Apart from the recipes I love looking at all the old advertisements.

Thank you again.  This is going to be great resource.

 

Cheers from Marie

If you enjoy old cookbooks (early 1900s and earlier), check this

website. Who knew

Project Gutenberg, the people who put classic public-domain books

online, had a

long list of cookbooks??
